I need to implement a back button for social media auth pages.
For example - when I tap the FB or Google button I'm redirected to an external credentials and accept screen.
If I want to go back to my app and I'm using android device - it's ok, because I can handle the hardware back button. However - when I'm using a iOs device - it's a bit different as I only have one button.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Frameworks in my app - angularjs and Ionic.

I've run into an annoying problem where my Twitter share button on my iOS mobile app, using "SuperSocializer", it brings up the share sheet instead of taking me right to the twitter app itself. The other social media buttons I'm using take me right to their respective mobile apps.
However, in the Safari browser on my mobile device, it takes me right to the Twitter app when the button is pressed.
How do I prevent my twitter button from bringing up the share sheet but instead, take me to the twitter app like the it does in the mobile browser?
Currently I use TWTRTweetView from TwitterKit to display the tweets. When I tap on the tweet, the iOS system's popup shows up "MyAppName" wants to open "Twitter", and gives 2 buttons, Cancel and Open respectively.
Then the problem is no matter which button I press on, it will redirect to the twitter native app.
Ok, I have downloaded their source code and looking into it. And I drew a flow diagram to illustrate the issue.
As the diagram shows, the twitter SDK will try to call the deep link on tap first, if user taps "cancel" on the apple's default pop up, then the SDK will try the second attempt by calling universal link. This will cause the issue as I described in the question, which is even user taps on "cancel", my app still redirects to twitter app.
For example, when a user logs in to my app with Facebook, I open the Facebook app for auth, and then the Facebook app switches back to my app. But from then on, "Back to Facebook" stays in the top-left.
At this time, I do it by hiding status bar. I am still looking for a better solution.
I'm developing an iOS 7+ app that I need to offer the option of navigating to a certain web page to let the users to fill in a form there, and after that to come back to the app's view where the user was.
Is it possible to programmatically open Safari with a given url? If it is, I suppose that then there is no way to automatically redirect the user to your app from there... right? Is then a UIWebView the only option? Is it possible to navigate back or dismiss the view with the UIWebView without the need of user interaction?
Thanks
You can open links in Safari as detailed in this post How to launch safari and open URL from iOS app
I don't believe you can set a 'callback' and have it return to your app on completion, as you have no control over the user once they have exited your app's sandbox.
Opening the link in UIWebView would provide control, as you can utilize the UIWebView callbacks.
I m working on facebook login. Everything is fine, when I tap on the login button it will take me to safari (or FB app) and ask me for FB login.
my question is how to make safari return to my app if I decide not to login and hit cancel button? its currently taking me to my facebook main page after hitting cancel and is not useful
thanks in advance!
I don't know how to do it exactly as you suggest but what you could do is create another view controller with a web view inside of it, and a navigation bar at the top that has a cancel button on it. This way they could log on to facebook from within the app, so they don't have to switch between things which can be a little lengthy! It would also allow an easy cancel button with 'dismissModalViewController' or whatever it has changed to in iOS6. I believe this should work :)
